Boss Moanaroa hit three homers in two games but will not make the trip to Adelaide.

Left-handed pitcher Taylor Saucedo has been added to the roster and is expected to make his ABL debut.

PLAYERS TO WATCH

CAVALRY - Connor Panas: The Toronto Blue Jays' prospect went 6-for-13 in the Cavs' series win over Sydney in round two. The outfielder leads Canberra with five extra-bases hits on the season and is behind only David Kandilas with eight RBI.

BITE - Chris Powell: The right-hander is slated to start game one for Adelaide. Powell holds a 4.91 ERA and gave up just one earned run on six hits in six innings against the Aces. With the Bite desperate to start the series with a win, the 25-year-old will need to fire.

OUR PREDICTION

Series split. Put simply, anything less than a split and the Bite are dust. Even a split leaves them in a precarious position in a 40-game season. Adelaide has made some changes to its rotation, giving it a stronger look, and added some bats to its lineup as it chases runs. The Cavs offence got going last weekend and its pitching looked strong but whether it can reproduce on the road against a desperate Bite outfit is another story.
